ABSTRACT

An overview of each of the five human performance modeling tools addressed in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Human Performance Modeling (NASA HPM) project is presented to provide the reader with initial insight into each HPM tool’s theory of operation, general capabilities, programming language, and operating system requirements. The five HPM tools discussed are:

Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R); Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT)/ACT-R; Air Man-machine Integration Design and Analysis System (Air MIDAS); Distributed Operator Model Architecture (D-OMAR); and Attention-Situation Awareness (A-SA).
